Forged in Blood: A Dark Paranormal/ Fantasy romance (Broken Bloodlines Book 1)

By Sadie Kincaid

A dark paranormal/ fantasy romance by bestselling author, Sadie Kincaid.


Every few millennia, a child is born.

Some say they're marked with a curse.

Others claim they possess the power of the ages.


Meet Ophelia Hart. Lover of classic literature and unicorns. An orphan with nobody in her corner-no family, no friends. But it's her loneliness that fuels her life's ambition to become a social worker and help the forgotten children just like her. For a foster kid with only slightly above-average grades, it feels like a pipe dream.


Except it seems that someone is looking out for Ophelia after all. When an unexpected opportunity to attend Montridge University arises, she thinks her life is finally taking a turn for the better.


Too bad she comes to the attention of the three ruthless, arrogant commanders of the Ruby Dragon Society. Three of the most feared and powerful vampires on campus.


But Ophelia doesn't believe in vampires. Or in witches, or magic, or ancient prophecies.


Until she has no choice. Little does she know, she's about to have her whole world turned upside down. Because there is something about Ophelia Hart. Something that captures not only the attention of the Ruby Dragon commanders, but also their powerful, enigmatic sire-Professor Alexandros Drakos.


With no idea of the power running through her veins, Ophelia must learn to trust the very men whom all others fear. And she needs to do it fast, for there are darker forces at work than those at Montridge University. Forces that were long ago Forged in Blood.

Insecure hipster pixie with an equally matching name becomes a college freshmen at a disguised university that in truth, is really a cafeteria for vampires to feed. Said unicorn loving hipster pixie has a "distraught" background full of bullies, orphanhood and "heartbreak" but magically has a trust fund to afford said college. Upon arrival, catches three "devastatingly" handsome vampires about to feed on a fellow student and intervenes. Of course, flipping her virgin world upside down when she becomes their target. After a bully from high school (with little to piss poor reason to target said damsel) looks to murder her with a variety of accomplices (which how do you get so many?), the trio comes to save the hipster pixie and indulge in their new obsession. Quickly moving this from a semi-developing plot line to non-existent with an abundance of sex feast. Also, did I forget to mention that she is apparently this rare magic creature/being? Because of course she is. Because "who would want to be with a 'ugly' loner like [her]"? This poor "cupcake", "pyro", "sweet girl" will never know love. *Cue sad puppy dog eyes* If you are just on the hunt for smut and smut only, here is your read. If you would like decent plot with a dash of spice, look elsewhere.

It was okay. Liked the spice and the back and forth with main character and 3 male characters. But lacked in world building for me as it didn’t explain much besides repetitive school setting

I have found a new author I like. I love exploring different vampire tales and this one has me intrigued. Though I do love spice I did think it overshadowed the main story line a bit. Either way I still loved it enough to really enjoy it and I look forward to the next book. Also makes me curious about her other writings which I will be looking up. 🥰

5 stars for sex scenes and 5 for Malachi but the rest was terrible. No story line, no plot and terrible writing. The cliffhanger just made is worse.
